Chapter 126: In Broad Daylight, What Kind of Decorum?

Originally, Xu Mo planned to leave the Welfare Institute directly.

He had even figured out how to leave the Welfare Institute—by hitching a ride.

Today happened to be the day the Welfare Institute staff went out to purchase supplies.

Xu Mo and his group could easily hitch this vehicle to get out of the Welfare Institute.

But for now, the hitch‑hiking plan can be put on hold.

After all, the teammates the Program Crew assigned to him are on their way.

He'll have to wait for the teammates before setting off.

He just doesn't know what specialties these teammates have.

They're different from the Water Friends.

Xu Mo doesn't fully think that teammates are his dead weight.

Having teammates means he isn't fighting solo; someone can help him.

At the very least, Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yang Jingxuan have helped Xu Mo.

Yang Jingxuan earned merit both when Xu Mo blackmailed the Program Crew and when Xu Mo rescued Zhou Qiaoqiao.

Without her help, Xu Mo completing those two tasks alone would certainly be harder.

As for Zhou Qiaoqiao, there's even less to say.

During the bank robbery, she played a considerable role.

She both knows the bank and can assist Xu Mo with Black Surveillance.

Especially when they leave after the robbery.

While Xu Mo drives, Zhou Qiaoqiao handles Black Surveillance, and their coordination is quite perfect.

After all, no matter how capable Xu Mo is, he can't operate a computer while driving.

If he can't hack the surveillance while driving, the Police will certainly track Xu Mo's location in real time through the cameras.

Then why the hell even run?

……

On the other side, the Investigation Team and Team One police officers.

Are on their way to the Welfare Institute.

The atmosphere in the car is somewhat stifling.

Han Fei furrows his brows, chain‑smoking one cigarette after another.

The old smoker's nature is laid bare.

Honestly, because he keeps failing to catch Xu Mo, he's begun to doubt whether his own abilities are flawed.

Even his mindset has started to crumble.

Xu Mo is just damn hard to catch!

At this moment, Han Fei is contemplating whether to quit the program.

He truly doesn't feel capable of catching Xu Mo.

Rather than constantly letting the Water Friends watch a joke, it's better to voluntarily admit defeat.

Though admitting defeat will also be mocked.

But a short pain is better than a long one.

While thinking that, the Program Crew's Chief Director Song Yixue called Han Fei.

Without much thought, Han Fei pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Han Team…"

In the call, Song Yixue told Han Fei that the Program Crew assigned two more helpers to Xu Mo.

She also gave Han Fei a new mission—to stop Xu Mo from stealing the gem, preferably to catch him.

It's just like a variety show such as "XX Challenge".

Both opposing sides receive opposite missions.

Originally still chain‑smoking and even a bit listless, Han Fei

After hearing Song Yixue's words, instantly perked up.

Xu Mo got two more helpers?

He knows exactly what Xu Mo having two more helpers means.

It means the Investigation Team's chance of catching Xu Mo has increased!

Xu Mo is formidable.

But that's only his individual strength.

If it were only Xu Mo, the difficulty of capture would certainly be great.

Yet Xu Mo now has two more teammates.

That makes him much easier to catch.

After all, one person and a crowd are never the same.

More people mean someone will inevitably slip up.

Han Fei is like he's been injected with chicken blood.

He rallies himself again.

This time, he must win!

Not only him, but the remaining three of the Investigation Team as well.

For a moment, they all feel their odds have increased.

……

Welfare Institute.

Xu Mo, Yang Jingxuan, and Zhou Qiaoqiao were sitting on that five‑seat vehicle, waiting for the two newly arrived teammates.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes.

A white G63 appeared in the three of their sight.

"Xu Mo, look, the car's coming. This should be our new teammate, right?" Yang Jingxuan pointed with a finger.

Xu Mo nodded: "Probably."

After saying that, he opened the car door and got out.

Yang Jingxuan and Zhou Qiaoqiao also stepped out of the car in turn.

The G63 slowly drove to the Welfare Institute's entrance and then stopped.

Two beautiful women walked down from the car.

The two, very excited, walked up to Xu Mo.

"Xu Mo, you're their idol!"

The reason they joined the program was largely because of Xu Mo.

They just wanted to meet their idol and go on a 'fugitive adventure' with him.

The mixed‑blood beauty among them rushed forward first.

"Xu Mo! I really like you. Could you give me an autograph?"

Xu Mo was slightly stunned.

An autograph?

At his age, it was the first time he'd encountered something like this.

Xu Mo never imagined that, as an Escapee, he could still gain fans.

In the moment Xu Mo was dazed.

The mixed‑blood beauty took out a marker pen.

She handed it to Xu Mo, eyes pleadingly fixed on him.

"Is that okay?"

"Sure." Unable to refuse the warm invitation, Xu Mo nodded: "But where should I sign?"

The mixed‑blood beauty only handed over the pen, but no paper.

The next second, she pulled open her coat and straightened it, revealing a white undershirt she had deliberately worn underneath.

With an excited expression, she pointed at Xiong Da and Xiong Er, "Sign here! I'll take this clothing home to keep it."

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"

Yang Jingxuan: "???"

Xu Mo was completely bewildered.

Signing on this... doesn't seem right!

But at that moment,

Another beautiful woman also straightened up, mimicking her.

"I also want an autograph. I really like you; finally I get to see you in person today!"

The Live Broadcast Room boiled over again.

"What the heck!? You can sign like that?"

"Xu Mo's luck is insane, damn! The Program Crew actually gave him four beauties!"

"Not just beauties—didn't you see the big G? This is a rich, beautiful woman!"

"When's the next episode being filmed? I also want to join!"

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, what kind of decorum is this? Let go of those two girls and let me have a go!"

"..."

Still that same line.

The invitation was hard to refuse.

"The girls are already asking like this."

Xu Mo has to satisfy them at least a little, right?

Holding the marker pen, he signed on each of the women's clothes in turn.

Even though it was just a pen.

But Xu Mo still felt an astonishing springiness...

Honestly, it felt pretty good!

That's all, dear ones, good night!
